Athens Food Market Tour and Lunch
Description
Feel the real pulse of the city, as you stroll around food stalls, coffee shops, open-air markets, and well-hidden tavernas. Let your senses guide you. This is the local food market, the most vibrant place in the city, a year-round food oasis. Mingle with the locals while they do their daily shopping and get to know the best quality ingredients. This is heaven for foodies and a market like no other.
No doubt that smelling all these different ingredients has already stimulated your appetite. No worries, this is the moment to discover one of the best-hidden tavernas of Athens, a real apocalypse even for locals. Feel that old-time nostalgia as you visit one of the most iconic places where you'll enjoy typical Greek tapas (mezes) and drink wine. The menu is based on seasonal ingredients the owner buys every day from the main food market of the city, just a few meters away. Vegetables, meat, and fish taste best when they are in season and the menu is constantly changing to bring you the freshest ingredients. This legendary taverna located in a 150-year-old building will take you back in time and make you feel like an authentic Athenian.
If you think you have experienced enough, wait until you stroll around Spice Street where you'll find the best herbs that are collected from all over the Greek peninsula. Next time you cook for your friends, don’t be surprised if they ask you about your secret ingredients.
